copy files into system directory

Johnny_hunterMar 9 2011 — edited Mar 18 2011

Hello all:

I am on a font manager project. One of the features is to install the new font file. My understanding by "install" is to copy the file to the system directory Windows/fonts (correct me if I am wrong in this part). When I tried to use the java copy file api to do so, not surprisingly I got the access denied exception.

Now two questions:
1. How can I do a "force-copy" of file into the system directory?
2. If that's not proper way, how can I create a "shortcut" like a softlink of the file into the system directory?

Thanks,
Johnny
